Frank Zappa (not possible, unfortuantely), Jesus Christ (not now, I can wait a while),
I like everything except most country, and opera. My preference is for progressive rock/metal, and power metal, but that's not ALL I listen to. I'm first and foremost a guitar freak. I've been playing guitar since 1980 and hope to continue until I croak. If the guitar playing is good, no matter what the genre, I'll probably enjoy it. I also like bands that can't be labelled with any kind of musical brand. Bands like Frank Zappa, Freak Kitchen, and the Mike Keneally Band come immediately to mind. I can easily jump from The Beatles, to Black Sabbath, to Stevie Ray Vaughan without missing a beat.
Sci-Fi & Horror are my main catagories, but I'm up for a good western or comedy as well.
Don't watch much, but I do enjoy 24, Lost, and most of HBO's mini-series. Missed the last season of 6 Feet Under, looking forward to new Soprano's & Deadwood. I can also be found watching The Discovery Channel, or anything that has to do with animals or science.
Haven't done a whole lot of reading lately, but I enjoy Tom Clancy's books, as well as Clive Barker & Steven King. I also like biographies. The Real Frank Zappa book is a great read, as well as David Lee Roth's book. I still need to get White Line Fever, penned by none other than Lemmy from Motorhead.....
My folks (just because...), Frank Zappa (for not being afraid of anybody, and pointing out the absurdities in life & government), and last but not least, all the men & women who gave their lives in present, as well as past wars, operations, police actions, etc. The "war" on terror is a sticky situation, and while some may scoff, you all have my backing 100%.
